What Congressman Holman Says.

Congressman Holman, of Indiana, is
reported as saying that the people of his
State are giving no attention to politics;
that there is no election to take place in
the State this year, and hence the next
political fight is too remote to arouse
present interest. The President, he
said, was very popular among all classes.
''The labor movement" he said, sis the
great political problem of the future.
Nobody can foretell what influence il
will have next year. While there are
differences and dissensions among the
labor organizations, they will all proba-
bly, unite next year upon national
ticket. If they draw heaviest from the
Republicans, so much better for US. /
think myself that the Democratic party
is in good shape, and the administration
is-strong with the people because it is
honest and sincere in guarding the peo-
pies interests"

A Word in Season.

We desire to repeat with emphasis,
what was stated in our last paper, that
the proposition to return the battle-fags
did not originate with the Southern
people, nor did they expect it; and fur
thermore, the suggestion of the Presi-
dent that the authority of Congress
should be obtained for executing the
well-meant design to restore the flags,
is ill-advised. The effect would be to
furnish occasion for a bloody-shirt
saturnalia in that body to the annoy
ance and detriment of the country. If
our humble protest can be heard, the
Democratic members of Congress from
both sections will have nothing what
ever to do with it. They can spend
their time better with the practical,
pressing issues of the day.

Probable Successors to Secretary
Lamar.

Special to Times Democrat
WASHINGTON, June 22.-The names
that are being canvassed here in connec-
tion with the Interior portfolio, upon
the presumption that Mr.. Lamar is 10
be appointed to the Supreme Bench, are
81. L. Muldrow, of Mississippi, Assist
ant Secretary; George jerks, of Penn
sylvania, Solicitor General; Senator
Ransom, of North Carolina; Senator
Colquitt, of Georgia; ex-senator Davis,
of West Virginia; Gen. Pat Collins, of
Massachusetts, and Gen. John M. Pal
mer, of Illinois. In the opinion of sew
eral gentlemen of prominence the Presi-
dent should go South for the man,
while others hold that wise step would
be to select him from some section
where it is conceded the Democracy
needs strengthening. A gentleman oe
influence speaking to-day about the
matter said: "We shall probably not
be kept waiting long. The President
will soon see that by making the judi
cial appointment as soon as possible he
will escape no end of petitions and adj
dresses in behalf of men who seriously
can have no claim to recognition"

The County Democratic Executive
Committee having decided to hold a
Primary Election for the purpose of
making nominations for all the offices to
be filled at the next election, we have
naught to say except that we hope it
will be the means of maintaining the
undisputed supremacy of the Demo
cratic party which has been achieved
by the Convention system in vogue
since 1875, under which, with rare ex-
ceptions, the county has been blessed
with honest and capable officers A
strong element in the party had come
to the opinion that Primary Election
would give more satisfaction than a
Convention, and, in the interest of har-
mony, it is, perhaps, best that the Com
mittee decided to try the plan proposed.

The public loses nothing by the de-
cline in the prices of wheat and coffee
which has proved so disastrous to the
spectators. As remarked by contem-
porary, speculation in food products is
speculation of the worst sort. The price
of coffee, within a few months, was
pushed up from 6 to % cents. Surely
there ought to be some legal method to
prevent conspiracies to enhance the
value of articles of necessity.

GEN. REUBEN DAVIS, of Aberdeen, Is
one OF those stately old gentlemen whom
one occasionally meets in the South !;
seemingly belonging to another generation,
90 courtly is their manner, SO lofty their
bearing and so stately their carriage, while
their conversation carries one back to the
days OF powdered wigs, knee breeches,
cooked hats and laced waitcoats. A gal
liant soldier in the Mexican war, distin-
guished commander during the late war
between the States, and an able jurist and
useful citizen in the peaceful walk OF lie,
Gen. Reuben Davis possesses record that
might well be envied by any man. To this
courtly and dignifed gentleman we ac-
knowledge ourselves obliged for courtesie'
and kind attentions while in Aberdeen

A CONFEDERATE officer who knew
Gen. William II. Lyle, of Cincinnati,

tells the Cincinnati Gazette that when
Gen. Lytle fell at Chicamauga he had

carried cigar in his mouth. He was
in the thick of the storm and knew it,
and handled his men with the greatest

whole platoon of Mississippians firing
upon 'the man on the horse" who was
conspicuous above the hazel bushes in
which the deadly struggle took place.

Oleomargarlne.

The Commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue., in his late report, says that the re-
ceipts from the oleomargarine tax,
which began to operate November /,
1886, to May 81, 1887, are s691, 223.63.
The commissioner does not believe that
the tax has reduced the manufacture of
oleomargarine, but he thinks it has re-
duced the price to buyers and consum-
ers, as probably a good deal of this arti-
Gle was formerly sold for butter at the
usual price of that article. Now it has
to be stamped and sold as oleomargarine
and, of course, it can only command 8
much lower price.
The law is working admirably.

New York Times Judge Bartlett has
Just rendered a decision of some import
ance in life insurance case. The policy
holder had given his note for the first
premium, and before the policy was de-
livered had died. The company, which
was the New York Lille, contended that
the premium had not been paid and that
the agent had exceeded mis- authority in
taking the note. Judge Bartlett's decision
was in favor of the company. 1t is doubt
less sound in law and in strict equity, but
considering the importantly in which
agents are not only INDUCED but instructed
in soliciting insurers, and the complex and
severe conditions to which the insured
commit themselves, often with very
idea of what it all amounts to, it is unfor-
tunate that the companies cannot be held
to stricter accountability for the acts OF
their agents.

IT has been demonstrated by the count
of cash now going on in the United
States Treasury at Washington that
the vault capacity is entirely made
quate for the safe handling of the sill
yer. "The silver vault was filled to its
utmost capacity some time ago, and
there still remained about 100000
standard dollars which, for want of a
better place, were piled in bags in the
passageway leading to the vault. In
making the count these bags had to be
removed to an outside hall, where they
now remain, protected from outside in
ference by nothing but a pine board
partition. 1t, therefore, has to be
guarded at all times by watchmen en-
ployed in the building, who are armed
with revolvers during the day and with
repeating rifles during the night. Every
precautiOn has been taken to prevent its
being tempered with while in its ex-
posed condition" The count will last
five weeks or more, and the silver can
not be returned to the vault until it is
finished. 1t is hoped that the new sill
yer vault, with a storage capacity for
100,000,000 standard dollars, will be
ready for use in September.
